The Dreamers create most of the world's new steam technology. They also control the area's largest fresh water source. Their power chafes with the Waltzer faction, who consider themselves the rightful leaders of Hellwaukee.
Following the apocalypse was a shift in philosophy among a certain few individuals, who would become collectively known as the Dreamer called so for their shared dream for the future generations of mankind. The Dreamers come from a wide array of races and backgrounds and have congregated in the Fox Valley region. Through the help of a couple generations of breeding and aggressive proselytization, the ranks of the Dreamers have swelled over time.
Their dream is a future with minimal electricity, where small personal items are powered by "clean steam." They are anti-industrialization though it is not technology that they are against, but the waste and disaster which the greed of technology breeds. Their goal is to share affordable non-electric technology with those who share a like mind. Dreamers are considered a dangerous cult by the followers of Crawley, who fear adoption of non-electrical technologies will weaken their hold on the regional economy. Though the Council denies any involvement, several prominent Dreams who have promoted a "steam revolution" have had bounties put on their heads.
Some factions unconnected with Crawley also view the Dreamers with some degree of mistrust. To some outsiders, their dreams seems preposterous; their separatism and zeal in the hoarding and disassembling of old technology wins them few friends, as many urban dwellers in Madison and Milwaukee struggle to find working electrical equipment. Even for those uninterested in politics, Dreamers often come across as pushy and annoying as they try to recruit new members to their cause.
